6 Days Until Madison's Birthday!

We officially found out today that I will get induced next Monday, September 9th! We are so excited finally meet Madison!

Since last Tuesday, August 27th, my doctors appointments have gotten
interesting again. Madison has been a little lazy on the stress test
monitoring. She had to get "shocked" by the doctor with this little thing
that looks like a small microdermabrasion scrubber. On that same day, I was
worn out and really not feeling good. My doctor could tell I was worn out and
began to discuss how work was going and looking towards an induction. (It turns out my allergies hit me hard the next day and I have had sinus issues for a week now. I am finally starting to feel better.) He did an
ultrasound that day just to make sure Madison was growing properly and had good
fluid around her. Everything checked out well! She has a small head and big
belly...just like her mommy right now! Her head was measuring about 35 weeks 6
days and her belly was measuring 38 weeks 4 days. I'm ok with her head being
small at this point!

Today, September 3rd, she was being VERY lazy! After 3 shocks, 45 minutes of monitoring
and an ultrasound, Madison finally got moving and "passed" her stress
test. As we were watching the monitor, Eric and I were both preparing ourselves
that today could be Madison's birthday. The doctor did another ultrasound. Her fluid was still good, she had a strong heartbeat and her umbilical cord was flowing well, so off we went! I will go back to the doctor on Friday
for my last OB appointment!

The doctor is going to schedule is for an induction next Monday, September
9th. The single artery umbilical cord was the original reason for the twice a
week monitoring. We consider ourselves very lucky to have made it this far
without bed rest. Madison is more than ready to come out and we are more than
ready to meet her! From what we know so far, we will go to the hospital
Sunday night to get prepped and start the induction Monday morning. So...the
final countdown is on... 6 more days until we finally meet Madison!
